Man what a bummer, you know just one of those stupid moves, cannot believe it happened. Poor old 450-s, has served me well for 14400 miles, and this is the way I repay it. It was always good to me, if there was problems it gave me lots of warning, always started, and like some heartless lover I did it real dirt.

Well Doc it was like this. You know I have a ranch, and right now we are in the thick of calving, always a hectic time for sure. When I got back to this herd to feed them, I discovered some had gotten out and were where they weren't suppose to be. I unloaded Old Yeller (my 450-s it goes everywhere with me), from the pick-up and went to round up the cows. I changed my mind, and deceided to feed the herd, figuring the escaped ones would return on their own. The tractor wouldn't start, and needed a jump start. I drove Old Yeller back to the pick-up and parked it right in front of it, so there would be enough room to get the tractor past it thru the gate when I got it started.(Dumb to the 10th power) Now here is where it really gets difficult for me to continue. I'm sure you are way ahead of me. The ramp was still down from unloading the quad, I put the ramp in the rear of the pick-up, got in the pick-up started it up, and yep---you guessed it, pulled srtaight ahead, rather then back up!! Rember where I had parked the quad?? RRRRight!!
So stupid, even when the pick-up just about stalled it took me a second to realize what I had done, and to reverse the pick-up. I jumped out with tears in my eyes expecting to see a pile of junk. There is some damage, but upon riding it seems that maybe it is confined to the plastic, and maybe with a heavy heart, and a heavier hammer might be able to at least bash the divot out.

I dunno Doc. if I can get her to forgive me or not! Thanks for letting me vent just a little, it might help.

You ungratefull, low life, 2 timing (tractor), blankity-blank!!!! NAG, NAG, NAG,!!!! How could you!? How dare you!!!!!!

O.K. now that that is out of the way. Give her an oil change, fill her up with a tank of super go juice (not the cheapo stuff), wash her, wax her, and rub her real gentle like. Take her on a long slow ride in the mountains, just the two of you. Tell her you love her and appreciate her. She'll forgive you in time....
